And receive even more chatter in my mailbox? No, thanks! I would rather prefer that people more frequently ask themselves the question: "Are people really waiting for this?". Please, people, don't send messages with no other content than "I agree" or "Oops. Made a typo in my last message. It must be 'have to' instead of 'have two'". And do understand that this is a mailing list, not a chatbox. I would also help if more people followed Ray Brown's example: reply to several messages about the same topic in one post. That can save lots of bandwidth too.
